It creates a new protected area called the **North East River Game Reserve**.\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Establishes a game reserve** at North East River — a specific area of land now set aside for wildlife conservation and regulated hunting activities.\n- **Approves a management plan** (Schedule 2) that sets out how this reserve will be looked after and used.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Hunters and outdoor recreation users who want to access this area\n- The Tasmanian government department managing the land (Primary Industries, Water and Environment)\n- Conservation groups and local communities interested in the area's protection\n\n**Why it matters:**\nGame reserves are a specific type of protected area in Tasmania. Unlike national parks (which usually ban hunting), game reserves allow **regulated hunting** of certain species while still protecting the broader ecosystem. This proclamation formally brings this area under that legal framework, balancing conservation with recreational hunting rights."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-112","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-112/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-112/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-112/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-112/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2000-112/documents"}}
